No Land Beyond: Rant

Please tell me why some of you guys on the forums think No Land Beyond is OP or takes no skill to use. I am curious what your line of thinking is because.... (1) it doesn't even have that high AA. (2) reload glitch doesn't always work, and the misfire can get you killed. (3) It may say it is a Medium/High Impact type but it starts you off with a 292 Headshot until "The Master" is active. (4) You still have a ridiculous flinch when being fired at, and unless the target is standing still most NLB users won't land the headshot in mid-fire fight. (5) No one said anything about it until they nerfed snipers across the board and Clever Dragon became the meta. Literally everyone that complains about NLB only started when the new Clever-Meta started. (6) You may spawn with Ammo but you lose having an actual primary. Like seriously? Everyone bitching when they have the most OP set up in the game. If you miss your shot, the Clever Dragon or Matador will eat you alive every time (Hell even TLW users do). (7) NLB is only as good as your aim, it is not very forgiving with headshots because of the unique sight. (8) It isn't a weapon that anyone can pick up and get kills with (Like the Clever Dragon or Mapadork) (9) Mulligan sometimes -blam!-s up your reload glitch attempt so you have to wait to fire your weapon anyways. (10) It was rated the most underused and useless exotic in the beginning. Hell people asked for buffs or tweaks with it because it was underused. Now that it is being used, people are calling it OP or needs a nerf? Shame on all of you who disrespect NLB and it's good name. Pick it up yourself and use it until the update happens (see how OP it is then). *Edits/Update* I had no idea my rant was going to be getting this many likes and responses. Thank you all who have discussed this, it has brought some insight and I would like to share some of my thoughts about what people are saying about the gun. *Edit/Update #2* A couple comments made me realize I could of been a little lengthy with my first edit and could of seemed like I was singling out some responses. Removed to keep to the point. *Edit 3* Critical is 292-293. Confirmed. Have a great night Guys, I am tired and I enjoyed all the responses. It was fun and did not expect to see this post trend like it has. It was simply me getting my frustrations out of people bashing my current favorite exotic. Have a wonderful day Guardians. Use what you like. Whether OP or not, because come the 14th this meta will change and NLB will still be my baby.

  • It actually has 0 flinch whatsoever in any way at all. The only thing is that the iron sights move, where your bullet goes, however, stays in the exact place it was. I have over 3,000 PvP kills with it with over a 75% headshot ratio (pretty sure, if not, very close to those numbers), so I'm not just some bitch complaining about a weapon. It's the easiest sniper to use in the game and has infinite ammo, and lets you have a Matador equipped at the same time. Until other snipers get a massive buff, NLB is a broken weapon. Get over yourself, you're not special for using the easiest sniper in the game, sorry.
